Re: Integrating SurveyMonkey via a Webhook?

We'd like to create surveys with SurveyMonkey, and track responses in Marketo. It looks like SurveyMonkey isn't fully integrated into Marketo via Launchpoint yet (at least, it isn't as of this discussion in Sept. 2014: https://community.marketo.com/MarketoDiscussionDetail?id=90650000000Pw47AAC), but I'm wondering if using a webhook would be a viable workaround. Has anyone else done this, and will it work?

Webhooks isnt going to be the best bet here.....

That said, here's a third party integration that says they do it, probably through rest api.

I have the SurveyMonkey Integration and it is feedin g the responses through our Marketo Instance.

I want to take it to the next step and provide fulfillment to our customers that complete a survey. I am currently buying the e-gift card codes, these include 2 parts in a spreadsheet and i am manually sending fulfillment emails as a one-off. As this program grows, this is not a scalable solution, I want to automate the process as much as possible.

Any suggestions?

Hi Kari,

We've used SurveyGizmo, and we use an HTTP post from SurveyGizmo to Marketo. It appears in activity logs as a Marketo form fillout. Don't need a developer to mess with the API.

Any reason you can't do the same thing with SurveyMonkey?

Per Steve's suggestion, we do have an integration with Salesforce: ​https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/salesforce-integration/

Kari, to answer your earlier question about why Webhooks wouldn't be the best bet: Webhooks are used to send and retrieve data on a transactional basis from Marketo. With your use case, an action takes place outside of Marketo (person submits survey), so that information needs to be pushed to Marketo; therefore, either SurveyMonkey or another process (e.g., via an integration between SurveyMonkey to SFDC then to Marketo) needs to perform that task.

HI Kari- Great news! This is something that is in the works, and we'll have more exciting information soon that we will be sure to post here. In the meantime, be sure you fill out the Launchpoint form (https://launchpoint.marketo.com/surveymonkey/904-surveymonkey/) and to get notifications pushed directly to you.  If you’re in San Francisco, make sure you stop by our booth at the Marketo Summit! You will be able to learn more face-to-face. We hope to see you there!

Thanks, Katie! What about a full integration via LaunchPoint?

Hey, Kari and friends!

Our team here at SurveyMonkey hears you loud and clear. We've taken this feedback to our product development team. We are big lovers of Marketo ourselves and know how an integration with Webhook would be incredibly useful. We will be sure to keep you posted on more to come!

Qualtrics can post to standard & custom SFDC objects too.

As Don mentioned SyncFrog is one option, Another option if you are open to another vendor is 123ContactForm. They have a direct integration with Marketo, which allows you to automatically put survey results directly on a lead record. You can then segment your leads based on these survey results.

I worked on this integration, so I definitely recommend it:

Thinking ahead..you may want to control your content more with what you post to Marketo.  Otherwise webhook away:)

Thanks, Don! Out of curiosity, why do you say that webhooks won't be the best bet?

Hey Kari, if you update fields on the lead in SFDC it will synch over to Marketo as well.

Thanks, Justin! Would this integration update the lead record in Marketo as well, or just to SFDC?

This is not helpful if you are deeply committed to Survey Monkey but Fluid Surveys (http://fluidsurveys.com/) has an SFDC integration that can both read and write data from any standard or custom object. 

Example, you could create a "Survey Responses" object tied to the contact and store all their data in there over time. 

Worth checking out if you have that flexibility.

Yes, that's what I'd like to do - perhaps create a field that their survey answers filter into.

What is it that you're trying to accomplish? Are you trying to get the data from survey money onto the lead record?

Sounds possible if Surveymonkey can post to that.
